*Selim slashes through a bone creature with his sabre, causing to collapse and cleaving through, slashing through and destroying a flesh puppet and pirouetting on the spot to smash another bone beast to pieces, thus finishing all three of the opponents who had previously attacked Elysia. However, as he brings the blade to bear against a fat creature on the backswing, it almost gets stuck inside with a sucking and popping sound, and the puppet manages to survive despite the attack. Laura begins another transmutation.*
(OOC: Flesh and 2 Bones destroyed)
*Most of the remaining creatures advance, plus the three still standing that had missed Selim are still around, and they continue mindlessly assaulting Selim and Elysia. Selim is hit twice, merely bruised by the first attack but then staggered and stunned by the force of the second punch. Elysia, on the other hand, only takes a single slash to the side of her head, and she just barely takes an injury, a long cut from one of the bone puppets' attacks.*
*Laura's transmutation finishes, and this time it is Selim who is completely unable to avoid the attack, stunned as he is. In an odd coincidence, every target except Selim manages to avoid the attack somewhat, each in its own way, though only Elysia totally avoids the entire thing. Still, the flesh puppet attacking Selim and one of the bone creatures are each destroyed by the piercing rubble, and Selim only takes a bruise.
(OOC: Selim is staggered, stunned, and has another bruise. Elysia takes another injury.
Wow, not one roll below a 12 on the Reflex saves--sheesh!
Selim takes another Bruise from Laura and would be Stunned but he already is.
Bone and Flesh destroyed
Total Destroyed--Fleshx3(/4), Fatx4(/10), Bonex7(/10)
Elysia and Laura's turns)

This is bad, this is really bad! Elysia lets out a slight growl, stepping in front of Selim to prevent any ore attacks from being directed at him, rasing on arm and lashing out at the creatures.
OOC: Going to take a defensive stance (-4 attack/+2 defense), Accurate Attack (+2/-2) spend a hero point to gain Takedown Attack and use extra effort to gain a second standard action used to make another attack. Total of -2 Attack/-2 Damage Modifier/+2 AC

(OOC: I'll give you one better--you have the Defensive Attack feat so no need for the stance, your total is actually +0 Attack/-2 Damage/+2 AC)
*Elysia slashes savagely with her dagger while watching carefully for any attacks but misses her target just *barely* thanks to her defensive posture. Drawing on hidden reserves of energy, she quickly draws a dagger in her other hand and throws herself at the beast with a wicked curve and such force that she causes a fat puppet to quaver and explode as she and the dagger fliy through and into another beast of animated fat and splashes it across the ground as well, spinning in a circle to take on and smash a bone creature to pieces before finally losing her balance. Her killing spree ends and she finds herself panting and wheezing, fatigue adding to the weight of her other injuries.*
(OOC: Fatx2 and Bone Destroyed--
Total Kill Count Fleshx3(/4), Fatx6(/10), Bonex8(/10)
That means that there aren't enough left to completely recoup the losses any more, which indicates that if Selim and Elysia can hang in there another round or two, it should be easy from there.
Laura's Turn)

Laura ponders. She could crush the rest, but then her own protection might suffer too much. But she knew this was really just a distraction. What really mattered was on the other side of the wall...
OOC: If Laura can get some of the mooks w/o endagering Selim and Elysia, she'll try that. Otherwise, she'll move cautiously (and as hidden) as possible towards a place where she can affect the collapsed rubble---but not close enough to endanger herself to the mooks.

(OOC: Sadly, she can do neither--Selim, Elysia, and their little 2-on-24 mass-melee is blocking the way into the room itself. Now, Laura can easily thread her way through this, but that would endanger her to being hit. She could also do the attack thing again, but it might hit them if they are stunned like last time.
EDIT--she could also do a single attack pretty easily, if she wanted, Alchemy or otherwise)

(OOC: Throwing rocks or something? 
Perhaps unarmed?
Single hit alchemy or multi-target on everything? Nonetheless, I'll post the enemies' attacks while you decide)

*Laura begins another transmutation. Elysia dodges three attacks easily and barely parries another with her dagger thanks to her defensive tactics. Selim is only attacked three times, but unfortunately one of the attacks makes it past his defenses, as a fat creature clocks him hard in the head and knocks him unconscious.*
